Fr. Corapi’s been really sick. He was at the Mayo Clinic. If you read earlier on in the thread, I think it says what illness he has.

I imagine tha this question was posted out of curiosity, not to cause a big fight over Fr. Corapi. I’m not even sure why it’s important to discuss Fr. Corapi. I just happened to bump into this thread and thought the question was interesting. I was more interested in what the purpose of the question is and I am still unsure.
That being said, I don’t know the man and therefore can’t like or dislike him. I have heard his lectures. There are points that I disagree with and much that I do agree with. There is more that I agree with than what I disagree with.
Nonetheless, there is one thing that I don’t like about him and that’s his style. This may also be because he’s a New Yorker and I feel uncofortable with the way that New Yorkers speak. Their tone and their use of language tends to lack polish, unlike the Midwestern people who have a very wholesome manner of speaking or the Southerners who have a very gentile manner of speaking.
This is not just Father Corapi. When I hear a New Yorker speak, with some exceptions, they may be telling the greatest truth in the world, but they have sandpaper quality about their delivery. Maybe it has to do more with my cultural background.
I take care of this quite easily. The minute that Fr. Corapi’s style begins to get on my nerves, I change the channel. I don’t have to attack him. That’s why God invented remote controls while he was resting on the 7th day.

Go to the Prayer Intentions thread, look up “Prayers for Fr. John Corapi???”, go to post #150 (start there). It will begin to explain what is going with Father.
God bless!

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
We have entered the month of June (already!), and we recall that the Church recommends devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus during this month. Pope Benedict XVI, during his Angelus address on Sunday, June 1st, reminded us of this. He stated, “Every person needs a ‘center’ in his life, a source of truth and goodness to draw from in the flux of the different situations of everyday life and its toil. Everyone of us, when he pauses for a moment of silence, needs to feel not only the beating of his own heart, but more deeply, the beating of a trustworthy presence, perceptible to the senses of faith and yet more real: the presence of Christ, heart of the world.”
During this month try to begin the devotion of the First Fridays, which is associated with this devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Remember with thanksgiving the Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque:

- I will establish peace in their homes.
- I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
- I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death.
- I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
- Sinners will find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
- Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.
- Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
- I will bless every place in which an image of my Heart is exposed and honored.
- I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
- Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart.
- I promise you in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments.
“MY DIVINE HEART SHALL BE THEIR SAFE REFUGE IN THIS LAST MOMENT.”
God bless you always,
Fr. John Corapi

Father John Corapi, SOLT
fratres.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/corapi.jpg?w=175&h=224As we prepare to celebrate Fathers’ we should reflect a bit on what a father is. Today I’m afraid that there are a large number of people who can no longer relate to the reality or the concept of a father. This was not always the case as most marriages never suffered from the ravages of divorce. Many individuals today did not have the benefit of a father at home, or even in their life to any extent. 50%+ of marriages, including Catholic marriages, end in divorce. Single parent families are painfully common.
A human being needs both a father and a mother, male and female, to receive the fullness of nurturing, love, and support. One parent can try heroically to fill both roles, and do quite well, but it is never the same as when mom and dad fulfill their respective roles.
A father, along with a mother, obviously collaborate with God to bring life into existence. You will never know the eternal joy of Heaven without your father and mother saying yes to life. A father protects and supports his family. If evil in any form threatens his family a father must engage the evil and protect the family. This is true most of all spiritually, but also physically, emotionally, economically, and morally.
Dad has to fight many a battle to win the war of the salvation of the souls of his spouse and children. If dad doesn’t even know there is a war, where would that leave his family? How many sleepless nights fathers have had had worrying how to provide for mom and the kids? How many days he has come home from work bone tired, trying to provide a life for the family better than he had? How many deaths has he died agonizing over the welfare of each of his children?
Remember your father this Fathers’ Day. Pray for him, alive or deceased. While you are doing this, hopefully through a day started with the Holy Eucharist, remember your priests, who are truly fathers in the spiritual sense. They too have expended a lot of “blood, sweat, and tears” trying to insure the well-being of their spiritual children. Without the priest there is no forgiveness through the sacrament of Reconciliation. Without the priest there is no strengthening through the sacrament of Confirmation. Without the priest there is no anointing of the sick. Most of all, no priest no Eucharist—the Source, Center, and Summit of the Church’s life.
Let’s pray for our fathers, both biological and spiritual, this Fathers’ Day, and every day. We need them, and they need us.
God bless you,
Fr. John Corapi

Thank you…Great Post! Thank you for the information,all of you…
Fatherhood-
Yep…and as a father, you always have to be, “willing to take one for the team". Fatherhood and the priesthood, are two of the most challenging endeavors. Both fatherhood and the priesthood, require a great deal of strength and the desire to make sacrifices…
Responsible fathers cannot always be their children’s “best-friend” and this really makes things hard at times….However, when a father helps to bring a child into the world, they are responsible for them and their safety and their well being for the rest of their life. If you are not willing to make sacrifices, I wouldn’t recommend fatherhood….
Peace

A Note of Thanks
I want to take a moment to thank all of our friends and supporters for over 3,000 get well cards, birthday cards, and ordination anniversary cards that I received in the past few weeks. I do not take this for granted. I am very grateful to each of you for your prayers and for your kindness.
I am not sure if you know how valuable your little acts of kindness, generosity, and support mean to your priests. For me, they are a reminder that I was ordained for you. My day to day ministry does not involve contact with the People of God personally, but as many of you have told me, “I feel like I know you. You have been in my home so many times through television, radio, the internet, or CDs and DVDs, etc.” Indeed, technology is a gift from God, and it helps us to be united in so many ways. One day I was marveling at the great charisms God had given to some of His saints. St. Pio was able to bilocate, being in two places at once. I asked the Holy Spirit if it would be good for someone a lot less than a saint, like me, to have such a gift. The answer was immediate and hit me like a lightning bolt, “You are speaking to large numbers of people every minute of every hour of every day in so many diverse parts of the world through all of the means of social communication.” It’s not a miracle above nature, but it is a miracle when you think about it. Our Father takes care of us in so many ways.
This weekend we celebrate Fathers’ Day. First of all let’s be thankful to our heavenly Father for all He does for us. Let’s thank our priests, who are spiritual fathers too. “No priests, no Eucharist.” I’m so thankful for priests. Then, let’s make sure we commend our natural fathers, living or deceased, to our heavenly Father.
I’ll pray for each of you on this Fathers’ Day, for in some mysterious way God our Father has related us spiritually. A father transmits life to his children. I’ll try to be faithful to that mission of the transmission of spiritual life. Pray for me, please, that I might always do this.
God bless you,
Fr. John Corapi
